larry johnson opens up the iran vs the empire war and examines its parts; 

 

The tensions between the US and Iran remain very taut after both sides exchanged of fire late on June 2 (early morning June 3 in the Persian Gulf). It apparently started when a US helicopter tried to stop an Iranian tanker headed for the port of Bandar Abbas. The US helo launched a hellfire missile that reportedly hit the engine room and disabled the tanker. In addition, the US also hit an Iranian communications tower on Qeshm Island.

Iran wasted no time responding… the IRGC released the following statement:

Late last night, the invading US military targeted an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz with a hellfire missile, damaging the engine room.

In response to this aggression and violation of the regulations of the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC targeted an enemy Zionist-American ship, the ‘Panaya’, with missiles.

In a renewed aggression, the American enemy also targeted an IRGC communications on Qeshm Island.
